But camera companies stopped doing magnification based on a 50mm lens years ago. 0.7x on the a6400 is the exact same size as 0.7x on full frame models. At least with EVFs. My a6400 and EOS RP are both 0.7x and both are identical in size, with my 0.78x A7R IV being larger. My former X-T20 was smaller at 0.59x but the X-T1 was 0.77x and was huge....with DSLRs they used to do that while 50mm lens thing. But that stopped.
Sony actually differentiates on their site for the a6400, saying 1.07x, and then 35mm equivalent 0.7x magnification. And the A7c is listed at 0.59x...so the A7c is indeed a smaller EVF compared to it's APS-C models.

Ouch. Even the a6400 is 0.7x.
It's the same EVF unit as the newest @6xxxx cameras.
The difference is APS-C vs. FF, which changes the multiplier factor.
Wouldn't the same number of dots in a smaller space give the perception of a sharper image?
Yes, but the difference between a 0.7x and a 0.59x EVF is noticeable as far as size and immersion goes. I've never used a full-frame camera with a viewfinder this small. This is notably smaller than the pop-up EVF of the RX1 II - which is just crazy. Why would they put such low magnification optics in an $1,800 full frame camera? It's especially baffling since all their previous corner EVFs were pretty big. Even the NEX-6 had a 0.73x EVF.
